Package: spambayes
Version: 1.0.4-4
Severity: normal

(Submitting a new report even though this is related to #476274,
because since the program now runs, it's probably not "grave" anymore,
and it's somewhat a separate issue.)

When I try to install the spambayes 1.0.4-4 package using Aptitude, it
now correctly tries to compile the spambayes code for Python 2.5, but
gives me an error similar to that reported by Drew Hess in #476274:

My wild guess is that the debian/patches/fix_import_future.dpatch
stuff that Drew Hess mentioned re the Ubuntu version might not have
been included in this version of the Debian package.

When I run sb_filter.py, it seems to function, despite postinst
failing.  I don't know for sure whether it's actually working or just
pretending to work.
